Twinbill Triumph Sends Rangers to Championship Round

Jesuit Dallas punched its ticket to the championship game in the Randolph Brooks Federal Credit Union Bracket of the 2015 In-and-Out Burger Allen Holiday Tournament with a pair of wins on Tuesday.  The Rangers defeated St. Mark's, 70-63 in overtime before defeating Plano East, 71-62, in the nightcap to advance to Wednesday's 7:30 p.m. championship game against hosting Allen.

Sophomore Michael Jankovich totaled 41 points on Tuesday, scoring 20 points against St. Mark's before posting a team-leading 22 points against Plano East.  In addition, Jankovich led the Rangers in rebounding during both games, recording six boards in each of the two contests.  Classmate Marcus Hill added 20 points to the overtime effort against St. Mark's, while sophomore Reid Hatzmann added 15 against Plano East.

Jesuit Dallas (10-4) forced 19 turnovers against St. Mark's while shooting 38.3 percent from the field en route to the victory.  Jankovich and Hill each finished the contest shooting 4-of-9 from three-point range, while Hatzmann added a squad-leading five assists.  Hatzmann and senior Shawn Regan picked up two steals apiece, and seniors Ben Kunasek and Rusty Landon each logged a pair of assists.

Against the Panthers, the Rangers shot 43.9 percent from the floor, shaking off a 16-13 first quarter deficit to take a 25-23 lead into halftime before a 21-13 third quarter put the Blue and Gold ahead for good.  Hill added 11 points to the Jesuit effort while junior Mitch Prendergast shot 3-of-9 from the field to finish with 10 points.  Landon and Hatzmann tied for the team-high with three assists, while Kunasek, Hill and junior Jacob Palisch pulled down five rebounds each.  The Rangers finished the Plano East contest shooting 92.9 percent from the free-throw line, converting all but one attempt from the charity stripe en route to the victory.

The Rangers will next take on the Eagles, facing their second state-ranked opponent in a nine-day span.  Allen, who defeated John Paul II, Frisco Lone Star and Wakeland to reach the championship, entered the week ranked No. 16 in the state according to the most recent MaxPreps.com Texas Poll.
